Handling
Fiber
Cables
:
Inspect
the
ends
of
all
connectors
for
dust
or
imperfections.
Keep
the
connectors’
protective
cover
on
when
not
in
use.
Use
care
in
handling
all
fiber
‐
optic
connectors.
Inspect
fiber
ends
for
signs
of
damage.
Always
clean
and
inspect
fiber
connectors
before
making
a
connection.
Installing
Fiber
Cables
:
To
install
the
fiber
cables:
1.
Remove
the
protective
cover
from
the
port.
2.
Locate
a
2
‐
strand
fiber
cable
with
the
appropriate
male
connectors
installed
on
both
ends.
3.
Carefully
insert
the
fiber
cable
into
the
CWDM
and
the
device.

particular
wavelength).
Troubleshooting:
1.
Make
sure
the
fiber
connectors
are
clean;
see
the
FOA.org
termination
cleaning
webpage.
2.
Make
sure
your
model
supports
the
feature
or
function
attempted.
3.
Verify
the
install
process.
3.
Troubleshoot
connected
network
devices
to
point
to
the
switch.
4.
When
calculating
optical
loss,
ensure
that
the
total
loss,
plus
a
safety
factor
(typically
3dB)
does
not
exceed
the
optical
power
budget
(the
difference
between
the
transmitter
optical
output
power
and
the
receiver’s
optical
sensitivity).
See
the
equipment
manufacturers’
documentation
for
transmitter
optical
output
power
and
receiver
optical
sensitivity
values.
